Long Black Veil Chords

John Anderson - Long Black Veil G Ten years ago on a cold dark night D C G A man was killed ?neath the town hall light G There were few at the scene, but they all did agree D C G That the man who ran looked a lot like me The judge said son what is your alibi If you were somewhere else then you won?t have to die I spoke not a word though it meant my life For I?d been in the arms of my best friend?s wife Chorus C G C G She walks these hills in a long black veil C G C G And visits my grave when the night winds wail C G Nobody knows, nobody sees C D G Nobody knows but me

The scaffold was high and eternity near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows In a long black veil she cries over my bones Chorus C G C G She walks these hills in a long black veil C G C G And visits my grave when the night winds wail C G Nobody knows, nobody sees C D G
